In this episode, Sarah and Bruce welcome award-winning landscape designer Greg Lombardi, of Gregory Lombardi Design, who reflects on how design preferences have shifted over the past few decades - from formal, overproduced gardens to more relaxed, ecologically conscious landscapes. He shares insights on the rise of native plantings, climate resilience, and the beauty of “messy on purpose” gardens. Then, Greg shares his insight on cultural perceptions, generational change, and the evolving relationship between people and their outdoor spaces.
